There is a circular tube in a vertical plane. Two liquids which do not mix and of densities \(d_1\) and \(d_2\) are filled in the tube. Each liquid subtends \(90^o\) angle at centre. Radius joining their interface makes an angle \(\alpha\) with vertical. Ratio \(\frac{{{d_1}}}{{{d_2}}}\) is

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\;\frac{{1 + tan\alpha }}{{1 - tan\alpha }}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Equating pressure at \(A\)
\(\left( {R\cos \alpha + R\sin \alpha } \right){d_2}g = \left( {R\cos \alpha - R\sin \alpha } \right){d_1}g\)
\( \Rightarrow \frac{{{d_1}}}{{{d_2}}} = \frac{{\cos \alpha + \sin \alpha }}{{\cos \alpha - \sin \alpha }} = \frac{{1 + \tan \alpha }}{{1 - \tan \alpha }}\)
